I was going to go directly to support with this but thought I'd stop first and ask the community if they were having the same issue, when going to the gog downloader links page for several recently removed titles including puzzle agent 1/2, the wolf among us and hector: badge of carnage it instead goes to a 404 page with a giant hole and the gog bear.

Anyone else having this?

YES!!!
The same here. At least the offline installers are not available.
I didn't check the Galaxy downloads yet-

EDIT

Okay, that's not correct, I can of course download the files with my browser - only the GOG-downloader can't find the files.
The games are not lost - no reason for a refund.
Just another glitch.

Phew...

It's the same for everyone.

The GOG Downloader Links are unavailable for many/most (but not all) removed games. Only GOG knows why.

Honestly thats a bit shitty, removing them from the catalog is one thing, but removing access to those who have already purchased them is utter bullshit, you should get a full refund if so.

The GOG Downloader isn't officially supported anymore. But you can still download your purchased games by using Galaxy or downloading the offline backup installers.

Would still be nice to know why some games are affected and others not, of course.

On Galaxy, ToMI, Batman: The Enemy Within and Puzzle Agent seem to go to the backup page fine. Haven't tried actually downloading the installers, but they seem to be there.

I'm not using GOGDownloader for quite some time now - for this exact reason...it suddenly stopped working someday, and no matter what I tried, I couldn't resolve the issue.

I'm using Free Download Manager now (https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/)
That does the job very well.

PS: just to be sure, I just checked the three games you mentioned - I can download all of them without any problems.

Have you ever tried downloading 1500 games by clicking on links one by one? With some having up to 20 files?

Btw, there is gogrepo for that. I hope it doesn't breaks any time soon, as I use it for my monthly update/backup.

gogrepo is actively developed, as far as I know, unlike GOG Downloader (which has been actively ignored roughly since Galaxy was made available). It's also a third-party tool that GOG has little control over, at least short of changing the API (in which case they'll need to update Galaxy as well to use the new API, and make sure everyone has an updated version of Galaxy).

I'm sure they could block gogrepo somehow if they'd want to. I just hope they never will.

With respect - when download links break simply because games are no longer available for purchase, then that's not limited support, it's no support at all.


On an unrelated note - could someone at GOG remove the locked since more than a month ago thread about the GOG Galaxy 2.0 closed beta?

Yeah, and the developer of gogrepo can find a way to get it to work again.

Semantics. GOG has made clear that the old GOG Downloader client is not actively supported anymore, and if something breaks, it breaks.

I have no idea why anyone would still try to use that unsupported piece of shit which had lots of problems already when it was actively supported.

If you want to download one or few GOG game installers, use either your web browser or the Galaxy client.

If you want to mass-download your GOG game installers, use third-party tools like gogrepo or lgogdownloader.
